I sit on the couch with the hoop on the seat in front of me, or on the floor with my back against something. Use a cushion or stretch! Also drinking a glass or a bottle of wine is usually how I get it done! It loosens up the muscles.

I tend to sit on the couch with the hoop vertically between my legs facing out. I use my legs/feet to hold the hoop upright so my hands are free to wrap/mess with tape. I've found handling the hoop this way (rather than having the hoop sort of horizontally in front of me) helps me space the tape much better. My back gets stiff but it's not so bad. I just made like a dozen hoops between yesterday and today and it's only my back that's bothering me a bit.

I sit on the floor on a cushion with my back against the wall, using my legs to brace the hoop. I have to get up and move every hoop or two or my tush starts to hurt.

I like the bottle of wine suggestion, my horse fell on me and my back hasn't been the same since
